Pickle is derived from the Dutch word 'pekel' which means something piquant. It is something spiced, salted with vinegar and used as a preservatives.
The term "in a pickle" refers to how the vegetables feel all mixed up and disorientated in the jar!!
Do you like pickled flavored food? I tried pickle flavored sunflowers last summer and could not eat but one!
I did however seen this on google today, might go try a bag.
Kosher Dill, Genuine Dill, Sweet or Bread & Butter--what's your preference???????

I liked sweet pickles when I was a kid. Can't recall the last time I ate some. I've been eating dill mainly since that's what the Husband likes to buy. Just realized that the pickle is another food that I don't know I like until I eat it. That's a pickle of a story, perhaps. :-)
Indeed... pekel is a dutch word... is a stronger version of regular salt, rarely used in food though... its mostly used to throw on the streets when it has frozen or if there lies snow
Have a wonderful ABC-day / - week

The older I get the more pickled situations I have to endure.Good subject, Ann!
I get myself into a Pickle many times too. I never thought about why I say that before....good choice for P.
I do love dill pickles the best, and have had pickle flavored potato chips before. I really like them. They kind of remind me of salt and vinegar chips. Makes my mouth water...
Popcorn in a pickle, funny, I'd like to try those. . It's a marvellously old fashioned phrase, of course when we refer to pickles it's pickled onions and you definitely would be in a pickle if you fell into a vat of that.
I almost always go to the event I said YES to 1st.
